The primary objective for this pilot study is to determine if the Mindfulness-Based Chronic Pain Management (MBCPM) intervention would decrease pain and pain catastrophizing and increase pain acceptance in participants with chronic pain.

The secondary objective is to explore if MBCPM will reduce depression and increase quality of life and mindfulness in the same group of participants.

We propose to test the hypothesis that adding a low dose lidocaine infusion to patient controlled analgesia will lower the amount of opioids that these patients will receive, thereby improving patient safety while still providing adequate analgesia.
